BPOV:
"Jacob!…Jacob!…Jacob!!!!" I screamed, my voice nearly gone as I rushed on. "Please! Come back, Jake."
I stumbled and fell on a rock, scraping my shin. I forgot the pain as the dull ache of my baby being taken from me so soon overshadowed it. Lifting up I pushed to my feet and ran on. The cramping in my abdomen made me double over from time to time and I was bleeding some. I cringed. This was gross but I didn't have a choice. Anything. Anything, to get my baby. My little Renesmee.
After a few hours, I collapsed. I was spent and light headed. I had no more fight in my muscles, no matter how much my brain screamed to move on. I deep breathed heavily and I cried so hard. I hated this. The spinning forest stilled some and I lay there screaming for Jacob until I lost the battle to fever and slept.
EPOV:
I crossed the line back onto no man's territory only to be greeted by a distraught Alice. She must know that Bella was kidnapped, though she said she couldn't see past the dog pack. For some reason they were immune to her powers, but not to mine. I was glad I could read there minds because I was going to unjustly kill them all for one man's mistake. No, mistake was a wrong word, more like deliberate intentions. I had to find her before…My hands clenched. He better not touch her again!
I berated myself for even letting them take him so he could live. They had seen what he had done. They chose to harbor one of their own and let him do this. I could feel the thought of the prior plan shift too the forefront and I pushed it aside. No, Bella was more important now. I needed to find my reason for life. I wasn't a vampire for nothing.
"Edward..he..oh..God..I hate to tell you this."
"Just spit it out Alice. I have to find Bella. I've wasted so much time already." I sped on as she rushed along side me trying to keep up.
"I could only catch bits and pieces but..Bella was running in the forest and she..was covered in blood..and.."
I stopped then and turned towards her horrified. "He raped her again? Don't tell me that! Not right now." I was slipping into insanity quickly.
"No…He took the baby." Pain flickered in her eyes and mirrored in mine.
"Damn it, just because it was his child he shouldn't have done that to Bella. She must be inconsolable. I need to be with her. Do you think you can tell me where she is?" Her silence made me rage. "Just fucking tell me Alice!"
"She…is yours." A boulder slammed into my stomach and with out realizing it I collapsed and hissed out my anguish and pain.
"I didn't tell any one where I was going. I just came after you as soon as I could. Edward, I saw her. She looks so much like you and Bella."
"No. No more." My fist was clenched so hard that my nails dug deep into my palm, shredding them. "How far is she?"
"Five minutes. Go. I'll be a minute behind you." Her eyes glazed over. "Edward, North West, over the ridge. Hurry, she's sick."
I was nearly ill from the smell because it was so prominent. Too strong, meaning copious amounts of blood lost. Bella's blood right now wasn't beckoning me because I was so worried about her. Funny how that was. Only in sex did it flair up. I didn't have to really sniff Bella out, her splattered blood droplets led me right to her. She was laying face down and shivering, unaware of my presence.
I scooped her up and within minutes I was at home and rushing Bella up to my room. Alice had warned every one so they had stopped breathing. I saw Jasper swallow and his eyes darted crazily, and Alice ushered him outside. Not today Jasper, I didn't have time for your shit. Carlisle was already home and ready. My room was full of medical equipment.
I placed her on the bed and Carlisle ushered me aside. I watched as he hooked her up to an IV and blood. I sniffed. She was going to smell funny again. Just when I thought this would all be over once she got out of the hospital I had to play another waiting game. As much as I wanted my baby, I wasn't going to leave Bella when she was like this. I would have to send someone else.
I came down the stairs, drained. Rosalie stood up.
"So you are telling me she had the baby? You're baby?"
I read Rosalie's mind. She always wanted a baby and now she had a niece to spoil. If we could ever find her. I know I would never give up but it was harder since she was with Jacob. I heard a whimper from upstairs and I ran back to her. Their questions will have to wait.
RPOV (Rosalie):
"We should go kill that beast." I said. I was irritated. "Finally get a baby in this place and hairy dumb ass takes her."
"Calm down Rose. How do you think our bro feels?" Emmett my dear love, shut the hell up.
"I'm just saying." I plop down in a huff. "She's my niece and I want to spoil her." I pouted also.
"I can feel how much pain they are having." I watched Jasper's face change quickly. He looked devastated. I rolled my eyes. Why did they have to be such weirdo's? Between Edward's mind reading and not finding me attractive, Jasper's mood thingy, and Alice's visions I would say the rest of us were the normal.
"Your jealousy really makes you ugly Rose which is why I never saw you as attractive."
Edward's voice cut into my thoughts. He didn't have to call me out like that. Especially in front of Emmett who eyed me suspiciously. I shook my head at him and smiled and he was fine. I turned my head and gave my brother my evilest death glare. The look on his face told me he wasn't phased by it.
"Stop it you two." Esme's voice calmed us as it always had. "We'll find her."
"Edward…" We all looked towards Carlisle at the head of the stairs before they both disappeared again.

BPOV:
I hadn't given up hope no matter how many weeks had went by. My dad had taken it upon himself to alert the media and the police in every neighboring county. As if that would stop anything. I was so tired of being depressed. I just wanted my baby. Edward would try to make me laugh but I couldn't even do it. I had an irreplaceable hole in my chest. No baby, no patched up heart.
My dad was concerned about me and I had lost at least ten pounds. I couldn't eat much. My stomach churned at the sight of food. I watched Edward now. He was intently staring at the news. He wasn't really paying attention to it. I could tell his mind was tumbling over different places to look. Where Jacob could possibly be. He looked like he hadn't ate in weeks. His eyes were completely dark and depressed.
A twinge of guilt stabbed me in the stomach and I whined before I could stop myself. He moved from the chair to the bed quickly and before I knew I was sprawled across his cool chest and he held me tightly. A familiar twinge throbbed lightly. I hadn't been this close to him in a while. I had refused his touch. He had taken it all from me with out a complaint.
I kissed his chest shyly. We hadn't kissed in so long. I had denied him because of Jacob and out of guilt. It wasn't fair and I needed him. I needed his touch. Edward moaned so lightly that I almost didn't hear it. I looked up at him and his eyes were closed, his face strained. He was rigid and didn't want to touch me. I realized he was shielding himself from disappointment. It was sad that he had to protect himself from me.
That spurred me on and I lifted up to kiss him on his lips. I needed him close. I needed him tonight. No, I wasn't selfish. He needed me too. He needed this too. He didn't kiss me back, instead turned his head and defeated I sunk back down to press my face against his chest.
"Edward…" My voice croaked against the tears I was fighting.
"No, Bella." I sniffed back a cry.
"Why?" I squeezed him tightly. I was somewhat sounding childish.
"You need to heal." I knew he was making excuses.
"I am healed." I sat up and his eyes opened to implore me to stop.
"Bella…" He sighed deeply and rolled over and feigned sleep. I could hear my heart shatter onto the floor. When had I become such a repulsive creature to him? My eyes widened. It wasn't me. Oh how could I be so stupid? He was suffering just as much as I was. He was missing his child. He was depressed just as much as I. The pain wasn't mine alone to share.
I took the hem of his shirt I was wearing and lifted it over my head. Scooting in closer to him I pressed my warm, naked body into his back, wrapping arms around him. I could feel the quickening rise and fall of his chest and I knew I was getting to him. I silently pleaded with him not to turn me away. If we had any hope on finding our daughter then we had to fix us first.
I kissed his shoulder multiple times. Licking him and biting him the exact way I knew would arouse him. With an irritated growl I was on my back and under him in a second. His lips strained back to bare his teeth. I wanted to be scared but in that moment I found him sexy. His growl had made me whimper and the heat pooled between my legs making me moist and I wiggled my hips. I didn't realize it was into his crotch until I felt it pressing up against me. He was unmistakably hard.
His hard body moved away from me for a second and then returned with out clothing. I had no time to prepare as he entered me. We both swiftly took in a breath and our eyes closed. I hurt some as he began to move but I didn't want to ruin it. His thrusts were demanding and his hands found mine only to put them above my head. My shoulders popped at his quick movements and I cried out as he held them there. His mouth covered mine and took it into his mouth.
A brief image of Jacob flashed behind my eyes and I popped them open. Wiggling under Edward, I tried to free my hands. I wanted him but not like this. Not without feeling. Not like I was just a lay to him. Not as if I was just a body to comfort himself with. I was his girlfriend. I loved him deeply. I needed his kind and gentle hand, not this angry Edward.
Tears fell down my eyes. Not this again. I didn't want to return to this and I didn't necessarily want Edward to stop but he was triggering me. He heard the change in my heart and breathing and stopped immediately. He stared down at me concerned and the panic was evident on my face. His brow furrowed and then defeated sighed.
"Shit." Was the monetary word from him as he tried to roll off of me.
If he went now there would never be another moment. I just knew that. I held on to him and he didn't fight me. My mouth found his at the very same time that I lifted my hips and then dropped them down. I repeated again, setting the pace. It was slow. Lovemaking slow.
Edward followed suit and thrust inside of me the same way. He kissed down my neck and shoulder, then down my arm and over to my breast. My nipple was peaked and waiting as his mouth covered it. He was careful with his teeth. This was better. He was being gentle and loving. Something we both needed.
"Oh." I couldn't help but to say and my back arched. I held his head to me as his mouth and tongue did wonders. He kissed from one breast to the other as he paid homage to its twin. My hand ran from his head down his back and my legs came about his waist.
He kissed back up my chest to my neck and licked there. I shivered and I felt the familiar sensation about to combust inside of me. It came closer but creeping at a snails pace and by the time it reached the forefront I was none too quiet. He continued, drawing it out for me. I tried to stop his name from my lips but they were having none of that. I had said things I'm sure would embarrass me later.
My voice was shaky and he never stopped the pace even when turning us sideways. My back was to him now and he held me close to his body. His hand closed over my breast, squeezing it slightly. I turned my head slightly to kiss him and when I did his other hand slipped between my legs. It had been so long since this had happened that from almost mere thoughts of what would happen next sent me careening into another orgasm.
Expertly, Edward's fingers rubbed my sensitive nubbin. My body spasms were uncontrollable and I couldn't take back the guttural, breathy things that were coming out of my mouth. He took my left leg and hooked it over his arm, opening me up more for him. I cried out as another one claimed me again. I was so sensitive that I moved awkwardly against him. It was too much. Oh god, to much.
"Bella." It was quick and raspy. Edward's head was thrown back slightly and he continued but picking up the pace. I couldn't formulate a word and my mouth fell open. His body went rigid and he sped up again and my name flew from his mouth once more. I cried out, my body had been pleasured quite enough. He shot his seed inside me and from feeling that I quickly came with him. I was relieved it was over because I didn't think I could handle one more.
He lowered my leg and held me close to him. I hated this reaction that was coming. My body trembled on it's own accord for another reason. Crocodile tears flowed quickly and I couldn't help it. We had been so close, and it had taken so long for this to happen that it overwhelmed me. I think I sobbed for nearly an hour until I slept. Still in the comfort of his loving arms.
The next morning I awoke. It had been the first night that I had actually slept since Renesmee was taken. The first day that I slept nearly to noon. I sat up and stretched. A tray of food sat next to the bed. Edward was no where in sight. I started to eat the fruit plate when I noticed a card with my name on it.
In mid chew I snatched it up and read it intently. I squealed in delight. A tip. Jacob had been seen near the Easter Islands with a little girl about the age of one. I frowned re-reading that part. He was insane. Had he taken another child? And what had he done with mine? I had to find out.
Ignoring my food now, I leapt out of bed and ran to Edward's closet. I didn't care what I wore, I just had to put on something. I brushed my hair quickly and ran down the stairs. Charlie was there and I looked at him confused. It wasn't a surprise that he knew I was here because supposedly I was sleeping over at Alice's to clear my head. What had shocked me was the increased concern on his face.
"Dad." I slowed.
"Bells. I'm sorry." I didn't understand what he was saying. Esme and Carlisle looked at me knowingly.
"For?" I held my breath.
"For what I'm going to have to do."
"And that is?"
"Send you to Jacksonville... with your mother."
I slid down to the stairs losing my grip on the railing. He had bad timing. I couldn't leave now. Not when we were so close to finding my baby girl. She was 8 weeks old today. Did he know that? Did Edward? I sure as hell knew. How could I just leave her behind and what did Edward have to say about this? Of course he would revolt against the idea. My eyes squinted as I eyed him in the distance standing in the corner. Not looking at me. I began to chew on my lip. Damn him. He was having me sent away.
Thanks for waiting so long for an update. The house I just moved into says thank you and so do I : )
